Thymus ‘Duftkissen’ is an intensely fragrant and profusely flowering thyme with grey-green, soft leaves.
It is robust, vigorous and particularly decorative due to its fuzzy leaves and fragrance.
An ideal variety to cover up a patchy area of the garden or to create a scented draping basket in an indoor space.
Given the power of its fragrance, it is not necessarily the best culinary thyme – though distillations and syrups can absolutely be made from ‘Duftkissen’.
It is a particularly delightful addition as the leaves will remain green throughout the winter as well.
Nota bene: The stems are sturdy enough to take an occasional passerby, though not any kind of dense foot traffic. Rapidly forms wide spreading mats of thin wiry stems, with mildly scented green leaves forming total ground cover.
Tips:
- If you want to dry thyme, you should harvest it shortly before it flowers on a hot day.
- Thyme is undemanding and is therefore also well suited to planting in sunny balcony boxes.
The Tale:
Interesting fact about thyme!
Like many Mediterranean plants adapted to drought, thyme develops a dual root system.
Firstly, there is the central taproot, which plays a fundamental role by penetrating deeply into the soil or the cracks in rocks.
Secondly, there is a superficial network of very long rootlets capable of capturing even the slightest surface moisture.
The plant is also capable of releasing molecules from its roots that inhibit the germination of other plants through a phenomenon known as allelopathy, which ultimately reduces the need for weeding.
A very useful thing to know for those who would like to reduce their weeding times!
